England won the Cricket World Cup after beating New Zealand in a thriller at Lord’s.

Eoin Morgan’s men survived the drama of a super over after New Zealand's 241-8 was matched by England with Mark Wood run out from the final ball of the innings. Ben Stokes, who scored 84 in the chase, then returned alongside Jos Buttler to hit 15 from six balls before Martin Guptill was run out in dramatic fashion handing the tournament hosts the win.

Here's how one of the most dramatic matches in history played out:

6.3 - NZL 29-1, Williamson 0, Nicholls 7, Woakes 1-10 (3.3)

Kane Williamson is the new man in. New Zealand's captain leaves his first ball outside the off stump.

7.0 - NZL 29-1, Williamson 0, Nicholls 7, Woakes 1-10 (4.0)

Great over from Chris Woakes. He's the leader of England's bowling unit and he's leading the way again today!

Martin Guptill is the first man to go!

He's not had the greatest of tournaments and he was undone by Chris Woakes, trapped on the crease and out LBW.

7.4 - NZL 30-1, Williamson 0, Nicholls 7, Archer 0-19 (3.4)

Great stuff from Archer, he sends a bouncer down at Williamson then follows it up with an away swinger that almost finds the edge!

8.0 - NZL 30-1, Williamson 0, Nicholls 9, Archer 0-19 (4.0)

One run off the over and England are reeling New Zealand back in after Guptill's early attacks.

8.3 - NZL 30-1, Williamson 0, Nicholls 9, Woakes 1-10 (4.3)

Bang on the money from Woakes, three dot balls with Nicholls swinging and missing at a ball outside the off stump.

9.0 - NZL 31-1, Williamson 0, Nicholls 10, Woakes 1-11 (5.0)

​Just one run off the over, more quality stuff from Woakes.

9.3 - NZL 32-1, Williamson 0, Nicholls 10, Archer 0-19 (4.3)

Archer rattles Nicholls back pad but the ball would've gone over the stumps.

10.0 - NZL 33-1, Williamson 1, Nicholls 10, Archer 0-20 (5.0)

Williamson touches the ball into the leg side for a single to get off the mark. New Zealand score 33-1 off the first powerplay. It's a little low but with the conditions favouring the bowlers I think they've done well.

10.2 - NZL 35-1, Williamson 2, Nicholls 10, Woakes 1-13 (5.2)

Williamson slices a cut shot down to third man for one as Woakes carries on his good spell. He tries to bring the ball back into Nicholls who moves across his stumps to nullify the LBW shout.
